Zao - Such is life

They are from Parkersburg, West
Virginia, but most members of this Evangelical hardcore punk band live in Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania nowadays, and from there they make every effort to spread their edifying
Christ centered music all over the world.

Vocalist Eric Reeder coined the name,
or rather: he chose the Greek word zao as the philosophy behind the band. Zao
means something like 'life' or 'belonging to the living’. Unfortunately this view
was lost on bassist Justin Mannlover; he died recently.
